The Obama administration is soliciting input from Indian Country as it develops the first-ever Quadrennial Energy Review. The document will guide federal policy for energy transmission, storage and distribution.

"The QER will examine the appropriate federal role in a dramatically changed energy landscape, and where appropriate, how the federal government can be supportive of state, local and tribal efforts to modernize energy infrastructure," the department said in a background memo for the meeting.

Tribal officials discussed jurisdictional issues at two panels during the meeting. They also offered comments to Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell.
